Does Massey Ferguson and Ford Go Together?

We shall see!  Scott bought a Ford Series 710, Model 19-205 Rear Adjustable Blade for mounting to the 3-point hitch of the tractor (which are universal systems).  It would appear the implement was made circa 1960.  It was very rusty but for the most part in good shape other than the fact the we cannot yet unfreeze (rusty?) the thing to adjust the blade angle from perpendicular to direction of tractor travel.  We'll try using it to see if we can free it up.  Scott wire brushed as much of the rust away as he could then primed and painted with "Ford Blue" color. It is a hefty piece of equipment and we figure the whole thing weighs about 350 pounds.  The guy who sold it to us had to lift it into our little trailer with a crane attachment he had on his tractor.  Scott had to remove the scraper blade then carefully ease it down and out of the trailer from the side.

Here is a before new paint:

After :

The moldboard (scraper blade) is also painted and ready to be re-attached to the frame assembly and then transported up to Pelham for hooking to the tractor for some road and ditch work.  Here is pic of the original Ford tag with serial number.
